To me someone who is stuck up is someone who thinks that they are better than you are. I have been called stuck up all through high school by girls who were just jealous. I had lots of friends(from middle school), guys wanted to date me and were always fighting for my attention. But the thing was, I was shy to meet new people....not because I didn't want to talk to them or acknowledge them. I talked to the same people I knew in middle school and I am a really shy person, so it is sometimes hard for me to come up to them or start talking to them...so they assumed I was stuck up.

People always thought my lil sis was stuck up because they thought she always ignored them because she was "too good" to talk to them. She's legally deaf! Pretty sad how people jump to conclusions about people without even knowing them....

This happened to me! I'm not deaf but when I was about 11-ish a new family moved in on my block and had an 11 yr old girl. Well she ignored me whenever I would say hi or try to talk to her etc...finally I got mad and told her parents blah blah well it turned out she was deaf, after finding that out I finally offically met her and learned sign language. To this day we're best friends.

That's funny because my sis met Richard Petty not too long ago and his grandson is a very good friend of mine. When she met him, she said, "Richard is kind of a jerk. He just ignores everyone!" I said, "Vanessa! He's deaf!"HahahaThe Petty's are the kindest, nicest family and Richard is SO kind. She saw a little bit of how people have percieved her over the years. Guilty! :)

I've been called that as well. I was always tall and very skinny as a child, people used to tease me and call me names, so I was very shy and self conscious . I grew up shy although I'm not as skinny anymore. Child bearing put a little meat on my bones, THANK GOD! Because I'm shy, I try very hard not to look at people or get into anyone's space, so they think that I'm stuck. For me, that couldn't be farther from the truth.
